STEMCELL-TECH
STEMCELL Technologies, Canada’s largest biotechnology company, announced today that it has received ISO 14001:2015 certification of its Environmental Management System at its Canadian operations in Vancouver, BC.
STEMCELL’s now-certified Environmental Management System will enable the company to monitor, measure, analyze, and evaluate its environmental performance.
“As global citizens, all of us at STEMCELL understand we have an important role to play in addressing climate change and protecting the planet to help create a better, healthier future for everyone,” said Dr. Allen Eaves, STEMCELL’s President and CEO. “With this ISO 14001 certification, our customers and communities can have complete confidence that we are operating in accordance with best environmental management practices when creating and offering our best-in-class products and services for scientific research.”
The ISO 14001 certification—which applies to STEMCELL’s manufacturing, shipping, research and development, and head office facilities—is voluntary and confirms STEMCELL’s shared commitment to environmental stewardship through improving processes and procedures to reduce waste and lower carbon output.
The evaluation and audit of STEMCELL’s Environmental Management System was independently conducted by DEKRA, an internationally recognized authority that assesses environmental management systems for ISO 14001 certification.
“This achievement is only the beginning,” said Dr. Eaves.“We will build upon this momentum to go even further to embed sustainability practices into every aspect of our business and continue to improve our environmental performance now and into the future.”

ViaLase Announces First Patient Treated in IDE Clinical Trial Evaluating Its Femtosecond Laser Trabeculotomy for Open-Angle Glaucoma3.12.2025 14:00:00 CET | Press release
Prospective, randomized controlled trial compares novel femtosecond laser procedure to selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT), advancing path to US commercialization ViaLase, Inc., a clinical-stage medical technology company pioneering incision-free, laser-based solutions for glaucoma, today announced that the first patient has been treated in its U.S. Investigational Device Exemption (IDE) clinical trial evaluating the company’s femtosecond laser trabeculotomy procedure for the management of glaucoma, a lifelong, progressive, and incurable disease that remains a leading cause of irreversible blindness worldwide. This prospective, multicenter, randomized, controlled trial evaluates the ViaLase procedure in comparison to selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT), the current standard laser treatment for reducing intraocular pressure (IOP). This trial was designed in consultation with the FDA to achieve clearance and commercialization in the U.S. and thus represents one of the most rigorous e
Winchester Interconnect Launches LiteSPEed™ Cable: Faster, Lighter, Simpler Connectivity for Mission-Critical Systems3.12.2025 14:00:00 CET | Press release
Winchester Interconnect, an Aptiv company and leading supplier of high-performance interconnect solutions, today introduced LiteSPEed™ Cable, a next-generation single-pair Ethernet (SPE) solution that delivers 10-gigabit data rates in a dramatically smaller, lighter design. Built for the increasingly connected and space-constrained environments of aerospace, defense, industrial automation and next-generation mobility, LiteSPEed™ helps customers move more data with less cable, reducing weight, complexity, and cost while increasing system performance and reliability. “As systems become more intelligent and interconnected, engineers need lighter, more efficient ways to deliver power and data,” said Juan Contreres, director of product management. “LiteSPEed™ gives them a rugged, high-speed Ethernet solution that simplifies installation without compromising performance.” With advanced sensors, real-time analytics, and distributed control systems proliferating across industries, cabling has
Owkin Announces International Validation Results of BRCAura: AI-Driven Screening for gBRCA Mutations Directly From Pathology Slides3.12.2025 14:00:00 CET | Press release
Owkin shares promising validation results for BRCAura RUO, a clinical-grade research-use-only AI product designed to screen for germline BRCA1/2 mutations (gBRCAm) directly from digitized breast cancer pathology slides. Breast cancer remains the leading cause of cancer-related deaths among women worldwide. Identifying patients with germline BRCA1/2 mutations is essential for guiding targeted treatment decisions, but testing is not always consistently offered to eligible individuals, and implementation varies between countries. The model concept was initiated as part of Owkin’s ongoing partnership with Gustave Roussy and Centre Léon Bérard through PortrAIt, a French consortium dedicated to advancing precision medicine with AI-enabled digital pathology. Fostered through collaboration with AstraZeneca, as announced in October 2024, the development of BRCAura aims to accelerate and expand identification of BRCA mutations in patients with breast cancer. Strong validation across internationa
Adva Network Security achieves BSI approval for PQC-encrypted edge networking device3.12.2025 14:00:00 CET | Press release
News summary: Critical infrastructure, defense and governments need quantum-safe encryption at the edge to neutralize ‘harvest-now, decrypt-later’ risks FSP 150-XG118Pro (CSH) delivers quantum-safe encryption via software update, enabling seamless upgrades with no hardware changes BSI approval confirms the device’s compliance for government and defense use Adva Network Security today announced that the FSP 150-XG118Pro (CSH) 10Gbit/s edge device now delivers quantum-safe encryption based on post-quantum cryptography (PQC).

With its new capabilities, the FSP 150-XG118Pro (CSH) is ideally suited for diverse high-security environments, ranging from national infra
Meiji Seika Pharma Invests in Lyric Bio for Next-Generation Human Immunoglobulin Manufacturing3.12.2025 14:00:00 CET | Press release
Meiji Seika Pharma Co., Ltd. (Head Office: Chuo-ku, Tokyo, President: Toshiaki Nagasato) today announced a strategic equity investment in Lyric Bio, Inc. (Head Office: San Carlos, USA, founded by Chief Executive Officer: Kayj Shannon and Chief Scientific Officer Melanie Matheu). Through this investment, Meiji Seika Pharma seeks to accelerate the early-stage development of Lyric Bio’s innovative platform for producing human immunoglobulin (IVIg), explore donation-independent manufacturing methods, and lay the groundwork for a more resilient, high-quality supply of plasma-derived therapeutics to meet increasing global demand. Lyric Bio is developing a next-generation biomanufacturing platform for IVIg production. The company’s approach uses tissue-mimicking bioreactors built on a proprietary laser-printed cellular substrate that enables ultra high-density cell growth and has the potential to deliver more than 1,000 IVIg doses from a single donor. This investment will accelerate Lyric Bio
